SuperDuper! not loading on Lion
Just updated to Lion and when I try to run SuperDuper! it starts to load then just goes away, no message, no error box. Any suggestions?

Make sure you've updated to the current release, 2.6.4 (downloadable from the SuperDuper! page).

Sounds like they're not formatted for the Mac (HFS+) but are rather formatted for Windows.

We only disable drives if they:
- Are read-only - You're running from them (disabled as a destination) - They're not formatted as HFS+ Otherwise, perhaps you need to try to restart your Mac? That's what I'd try. |

One quick thing to check. Do a GetInfo on the drive and see if you've checked the Ignore ownership box. I've found that Lion is much stricter on this.
I am running SuperDuper! just fine under Lion with external disks and it sees them all fine. I'm not running Drobo disks however. |

Um, no - we actually require ownership to be on, and turn it on after we run. Perhaps the drive were set up to be read-only for your user?

I discovered this when installing Lion on an external drive. It installed fine under 10.6.8 but I couldn't boot it under Lion, if fact my Lion computer would not even see the drive when connected by Firewire. It would when connected by USB. I sent the drive back to OWC and they said it was fine. I tested my drive in another housing that I knew worked and it wouldn't see it. I finally saw the ownership checkbox, unchecked it and everything is fine. Under 10.6.8, it didn't seem to matter. I could boot off a backup drive that had Ignore ownership checked but not with Lion. Of course, I could be going crazy but I think this is one of those things that's changed in Lion. |
Sorry, reversed the sense of your comments. Weird, though - will check. But we don't block volumes for having ownership off (unless that causes that volume to be excluded for the reasons I already listed).

It is weird and that's what caught me off guard. I can check my other backups running under 10.6.8 and see if they will boot when ownership is checked (ignore). If it does, then I'm pretty sure it won't under Lion.
|
But his issue wasn't whether he could boot from it. It was whether or not it was available in SuperDuper! itself.

southwos, please check
Southwos, Were you able to see the disks on your desktop in Lion? (Depends on how your Finder prefs are set up whether it shows them of not.) If so, please run the following command:
diskutil list What does your computer see? Try checking the ignore box again and see if the problem returns (SuperDuper! not seeing the drives). If it does, run the command again and compare them. Any differences? Dnanian, I know Lion is handling disks differently, especially when encrypting them. I have not seen southwos' problem, I seem to always see the drive but I've been using SuperDuper! for so long I might have missed some things. I also wonder if Drobos make any difference with Lion. I hear NAS drives are having some problems. ---just tried checking the ignore ownership box on my backup drive. Unmounted then remounted it. SD still sees it just fine. Unchecked the box to put it back to where it was. The external drive is encrypted and it still asked for the unlock password so once these things work, it might not make any difference if that box is checked (might be ignored). |
